MY PASSION IS HELPING…

I’m Harlan Cohen and I help students and parents. Every year, I meet countless high school and college students who unprepared for life in college and parents who want to help, but don’t know how. I was one of these students who struggled, and eventually, transferred. It was uncomfortable, expensive, and totally preventable. This is why I write books, workbooks, facilitate workshops, educate leaders, and host speaking events. I’ve helped millions of students and parents. I’m grateful to be in your corner!
